Chris Dawson and Russell Dilday interview Jim Jirkovsky! From breeding to judging, Jim Jirkovsky has been involved in virtually every facet of the Appaloosa industry for more than four decades. From his high school days when he would sneak out of class to go to rodeos, a deep passion for horses was instilled in him, turning into his life's work and a mindset that revolves around showing everyone how good an Appaloosa is can be. An ApHC-carded judge since 1987, Jim has served multiple terms on the national board of directors, has supported and served his regional club loyally for decades, and was recognized for his contributions beyond his barn throughout the region over a long period by his induction into the Nebraska Hall of Fame. Known to be a formidable competitor in the show ring, "Cowboy Jim" had many wins that predated the national pointed system, and since 1979/1980 has amassed a staggering 9,646.3 open points in everything from Halter to Reining to Driving and Heritage, and shown more than 400 horses to 334 Top Tens, 38 National Championships and Reserves, and 45 World Championships and Reserves. But it is the mentoring, coaching, and training that have helped his clients and friends achieve their highest goals that he is most proud of. Exhibiting, training, and coaching for years, Jim has played a significant role in producing 12 World's Best Appaloosas, three Iron Horse Award winners, and two of the only 16 Appaloosas in history to earn Gold Medallions. Ready with advice and assistance, Jim has lived daily as a mentor in every arena. He has represented the Appaloosa breed as an ambassador in open competitions, venues, and events worldwide.

Michelle has been involved with horses for 30+ years, and has been raising Appaloosas since 1995. She holds a degree in Equine Studies. In 2004, Michelle began showing and promoting her Appaloosas at a world-class level. In 2010, her stallion, “The Miracle Chip” was inducted into the Appaloosa Hall of Fame, and his son, “TC Tommy Boy” carries on his legacy. The Miracle Chip became the first Appaloosa to win 2-year-old snaffle bit western pleasure titles at the World Championship Appaloosa Show, the Solid Gold Futurity, and the National Appaloosa Horse Show— placing first under all five judges. Retired until 2001, the stallion briefly returned to the show ring, handily winning a reserve World champion title in senior western pleasure. The Miracle Chip has sired 217 ApHC-registered foals, which have earned 3420 performance points, 811.5 halter points, 201 ROMs, 29 bronze medallions, and two silver medallions to date. Michelle has won numerous awards across the globe in multiple disciplines and through her expertise in breeding quality appaloosas, she has demonstrated her commitment to excellence.TC Performance HorsesSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Appaloosa)

Appaloosa Horse Club NEWS RELEASE JUNE 4, 2020 —For the first time ever, the World Championship Appaloosa Show and the World Championship Appaloosa Youth Show will be held together October 29-November 8 at the Will Rogers Equestrian Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Details for the dual World Shows were finalized by the ApHC Board of Directors, which met for 3 hours on Wednesday in special session. The Board had vowed ear ier to try and save this year's Youth World Championships after an earlier cancellation was forced by the nationwide COVID- 1 9 outbreak. "While we were all disappointed by the cancellation, it opened the door to trying something new, different and exciting," said ApHC President Ken Johnson. "Holding the two World Shows together, which has never happened before, will make this truly a 'family affair.' I applaud the Board of Directors for taking this novel approach and for helping to give our youth exhibitors, the very lifeblood or our club, the kind or show they so richly deserve. It's going to be a great event. Details of the show schedule will be released soon, but nearly 80 youth classes will be offered over a 5-day period. In other action, the Board also agreed, on a permanent basis, to raise youth eligibility from 18-and-under to 19- and-under, beginning in 2021. This followed a request by the Appaloosa Youth Association (AYA) to expand youth eligibility. This will also impact classes currently held in divisions. For example, current age groups of 12-and-under, 13- 5 and 16-18 will become 13-and-under, 14-16 and 17-19. The only class not impacted is leadline, which will remain 6-and-under. "Following lengthy discussions by the full Board, as well as by the Show and Rules Committees, we believe that raising youth eligibility next year to 19-years-old will stimulate participation at our Regional Shows, while also benefitting the ApHC and our members for years to come," Johnson continued. "It's definitely a win-win for everyone and gives all of our youth participants that extra year of eligibility that we promised them because of COVID-19 — but now they'll also be getting it permanently." The Board also approved new rules for green horse eligibility, raising the limit for points from 10 to IS. Additional rule changes and updates were also unanimously approved for Ranch Trail, All rule changes which have been approved by the Board this year will be posted on the ApHC's website in the coming weeks and then https://www.appaloosa.com/association/pdf/2020_07_07_ShowCommittee.pdfQuestion that I have received already, for BOD Candidates.What are the plans for modernizing the registration process? Is there a plan to allow registering horses online? What are the plans for updating the web site, and member dashboard? I would like to know why they are not willing to implement a working HUS division. The AQHA and NSBA both just demonstrated how HUGE and SUCCESSFUL these classes are when judged correctly. Hunters are not western horses in English tack. I am tired of hearing about how they do not have funds when this is a division that could generate funds. Why is it not being run in tests at regional shows with specialty judges or at specialty shows (true working hunter shows) with points that would count fully? Why are appaloosa breeders being expected to foot an even bigger registration bill at time of registry. Such as in the case in registration fee as well as being forced to DNA and parentage verify at time of registering. That fee does nothing to bonus revue for the club. Why not continue as it is now as a option or offer discounted rates at time of transfer. For small breeding operation DNASupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Appaloosa)

 If you ask Wendy McCain what her favorite thing about the Appaloosa breed is she will tell you that as much as she loves the uniqueness of the horses, it is the people that drew her in and have become a life-long community she is proud to be a part of. What becomes immediately apparent when you visit with her is that her enthusiasm for the breed is contagious. Today, she runs a small but incredibly successful non-pro breeding program. Like so many of us, Wendy came from modest beginnings and was horse crazy from birth. Raised in Minnesota, her family owned Quarter Horses and she competed in her first show at age three. Her entire family was involved in horses and they went to shows almost every weekend from May to October each year. Tough she went to college and held a professional position in the marketing industry for 15 years, Wendy always managed to have horses in her life to some degree. Her breed of choice became Appaloosas in 1996 when she married an Appaloosa owner, and she never looked back. They bred, raised and showed Appaloosas, and in 2000 they bred Tonya Star to Artful Move. The match produced the horse of Wendy’s dreams she named Artfully Designed. She was there to assist in his delivery and has owned him his whole life, carefully guiding his career and building her breeding program with him.   Driven to be successful, Wendy has never stopped educating herself,setting specific goals and applying her business skills to her horse program. Never afraid to ask for help and always seeking to better her knowledge, she even went to Texas A & M to become certified in Equine Reproduction/Mare & Stallion Management. Since 2006 she and her husband, David McCain, maintain a 140-acre ranch nestled eight minutes south of Abilene, Texas. Rockin’ MD Ranch operates out of a small barn and an equipment barn that Wendy claims is nothing fancy, but very cost effective. The property is also home to deer, turkeys and wild hogs and the McCain hospitality not only feeds the critters, but welcomes visitors at all times. Wendy is living proof that you don’t have to be a professional or have excessive amounts of money to be successful in the horse show/breeding industry. Consistently among the leading non-pros in our breed for over two decades.

Appaloosa Media's Facebook Page Email Us John Kreider's Facebook Page Sawyer Creek Appaloosas Facebook Page Sawyer Creek Appaloosas   Sawyer Creek Appaloosas is located in Northern New York at the foothills of the spectacular Adirondack Mountains.  Our horses enjoy 234 acres of meadows, woods, rock outcrops and streams. We feel this natural environment creates a social, versatile and vigorous animal.  Our select herd contains predominately nationally halter pointed and titled stock which includes World and National Champions and World and National Champion producers. While most of our horses are highly colored, our primary emphasis is on quality conformation. Our mares are crossed on the highest quality and most competitive ApHC and AQHA stallions in the country. As a result, we have successfully and consistently produced national and world titled horses in a variety of disciplines. We utilize both modern and foundation bloodlines with only HYPP N/N stock accepted into our program.  While most of our horses have quite extensive show records and the majority of our offspring are sold to show homes, we are not a show barn. Our focus is on breeding to better the Appaloosa breed for future generations. The majority of the photographs you will see are taken by our daughter and are of the horses in their natural environment in pasture condition.     John Kreider, Rex Allen (The Singing Cowboy), Rex Kreider   Sawyer Creek's long association with the breed began in the 1950's when John's father Rex Kreider began breeding and showing Appaloosas. Rex owned the famous stallions Mane's Blue Eagle, Zebra Dunn and Revel Jr.. Trips with him to buy horses in northern Idaho and showing at the early Nationals are memories which instilled a deep love for the Appaloosa which continues today. Our goal at Sawyer Creek, as it was then, is to breed a competitive, athletic and good natured Appaloosa with a vivid coat pattern and to offer the public top quality stock at prices family's can afford.

      Legendary ApHC Sire Chocolatey Sold September 28th, 2018 12:47 PM    By Robyn Duplisea There are very few opportunities in a lifetime to be part of something truly special, perhaps a little bit magical and most definitely legendary but today B&B Equine LLC has vaulted into the breeding world with one of the game changers in our industry. In a move that will shock the Appaloosa world Chocolatey has been sold. The 2005 ApHC stallion best known in the barn as Harry was born to be great, but it was the way he was managed, loved and believed in by owner Noelle Schmidt that took this stallion to the top. In a time when few would show a colored horse in the Open classes, Noelle took the chance. With young up and coming trainer at the time Pat Heeley in the saddle the stunning blanketed colt took the pleasure world by storm. Chocolatey is a 3X World Champion, NSBA Res.World Champion and many times over NSBA Champion. Claiming wins at the nation’s top futurities in the Country, he took the country by storm winning futurities often dominated by AQHA such as Southern Belle, Tom Powers, Reichert Celebration, NSBA World, Double Your Pleasure and Just for Pleasure. As a sire, Chocolatey continued the legendary road to leading sire status standing at BSB Quarter Horses with Shelley and Kim Donovan. They managed his breeding career with the utmost care and love. With the characteristic stick flat front legs, the Chocolatey’s quickly rose as trainer and non pro favorites with their talent and great minds. 2YO Chocolatey and Pat Heeley share a moment. “My greatest joy was introducing him to noncolor breed people. Then, I enjoyed listening to their complimentary and very positive comments after they’d watch him show.” Recalls Schmidt “The new Featherlite Horse trailer, beautiful saddles, prizes and futurity money were great, but when the colt I raised from 5 months old ‘wow’ the non color breed people, well, there was just nothing better for me, or for my beloved stallion and for the breed I remain loyal to. I remain always grateful for the acceptance and kind comments I received about CHOCOLATEY at these shows from Quarter Horse, Paint, POA and other non Appaloosa breed people.” The decision to allow Chocolatey to move on with new owners was not taken lightly by Schmidt.  “In order for him to move on it would have to be the perfect situation” “I want to say that I am very grateful to everyone who has steadfastly supported Chocolatey year after year.  Many of you are my greatest of friends and it was a pleasure to share the belief in Chocolatey with all of you.   The decision to sell Harry was not an easy one, but I am confident he will continue to thrive under the care and guidance of Steve Cruse Show Horses and B&B Equine LLC.  B&B Equine has some exciting plans that will propel Chocolatey even further into the fo
